I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who is into everything. EVERYTHING. And she loves her playtime. When Child's Play Communications offered me a chance to sign up to review some Octonauts toys I jumped on it (literally, I jumped for joy!). Children's toys can get pricey and the move through them so fast it is nice to have a good variety around.

I have to admit that I am really only a turkey eater on Thanksgiving, when I spend my day creating a homemade masterpiece. I have tried ground turkey in a few dishes but I guess I am just stuck on traditional turkey. When I was offered a chance to try out some Jenny-O creations I thought it would be a good way to break my "turkey stereotype".

Superbowl Sunday is almost here! It is a perfect time to get together with friends for some rowdy fun. While I am not a hardcore football fan, I DO watch the Superbowl every year and party it up! I love to have friends over (we have a 61" TV), eat a lot of food, and have a few beers. This year my prep work will be a bit easier thanks to Cravebox!

This is a great easy recipe I got out of The Taste of Home October/November 2012 magazine. The preparation is quick but since you are using a slow cooker, the cook time is long. So make sure to prepare in the late morning/early afternoon if you want it to be ready for dinner! I also made a few changes which you can read about after the actual recipe.
